In SA, one of the responsibilities of an owner builder is to obtain a Development Approval. The Development Approval is issued after a Development Plan Consent and a Building Rules Consent have been obtained.
The Development Plan Consent and Development Approval is in most cases, issued by your local Council.
The Building Rules Consent can be either your local Council or a private Certifier.
The rules to become an Owner Builder in SA are different compared to other states.
It’s not compulsory to complete an Owner Builder course or a White Card course.
Lucky you!
However. As an Owner Builder, you ARE required by law to meet the same legislative requirements relating to building work as licensed builders.
And that's massive.
So you pretty much need to think and act like a builder even though you're not a builder.
Because of this, we think paying to do a short course is a pretty small investment considering you're about to make one of the biggest investments in your life.
The best part? We've done the research for you.
